00:02:01 No, no. No, that'll have to wait. No, this is far more important. It might make all the difference the next time he turns up.
00:03:04 Of course it is, Dr. Ingram, of course it is!
00:03:58 And there's no need for you to be so patronising, Professor. Look, just because I'm a woman, there's no need to treat me like...
00:04:47 Well, its says... "Santorini" in brackets. Well that must be another name for it. How about that?
00:05:39 Jo, get me the Brigadier, will you?
00:06:43 Priority A-one actually.
00:07:26 Yes, exactly what I was going to say - TOMTIT.
00:08:21 How is it that you publish nothing? That you refuse to reveal the hypothesis behind your so-called experiment? That the very name of your project is arrogant nonsense?! TOMTIT! What, pray, is "Interstitial Time"?
00:09:47 One, point, three-five-nine, check.
00:10:31 As sure as God made little green apples, and bang goes my fellowship.
00:11:13 That does it! We go ahead.
00:11:59 I feel like the back end of a pantomime horse.
00:13:05 Three-five, four-o, four-five...
00:13:42 Unless what?
00:14:56 Right!
00:16:02 Here, hang about, mate. I'm not my sister's keeper. She's the boss. Anyway, I suggested it.
00:17:03 See for yourself.
00:18:21 What?
00:19:40 Of course, sir. Sergeant Benton?
00:20:40 That should put us somewhere around... there. A village called Wootton.
00:21:47 That's a fearsome looking load of electronic nonsense you've got together, Dr. Ingram? How does it all work? In words of one syllable.
00:22:44 Doctor, slow down. It's not safe to drive so quickly - please!
00:23:41 Increase in power!
